DPF Cleaning & Refurbishment: In House In Abergavenny
Cost-effective DPF filter cleaning and restoration service from ABC Motorfactors — environmentally friendly, economical, and keeping your diesel vehicle compliant.
What Is DPF Refurbishment?
DPF refurbishment is the process of restoring your diesel particulate filter (DPF) by removing built-up soot, ash, and carbon. Using advanced cleaning technology, we bring your filter back to peak performance — helping improve fuel efficiency, reduce emissions, and extend the life of your vehicle.

Warning Signs of a Blocked DPF
A blocked DPF can cause a number of noticeable issues with your vehicle. Common warning signs include reduced engine performance, the DPF warning light appearing on your dashboard, and excessive smoke or soot from the exhaust. You may also notice higher fuel consumption, the engine going into limp mode, or a strong smell of diesel. Ignoring these signs can lead to costly repairs—if you notice any of them, it’s time to get your DPF checked.

Frequently Asked Questions
How long does DPF refurbishment take?
Often same-day once the DPF is removed and delivered to us (subject to workload). We’ll confirm when you get in touch.
How often should I have my DPF cleaned?
It varies by driving style and usage — many vehicles only need it when warning signs appear.
Is it legal to remove or delete the DPF?
No — removing or deleting the DPF is illegal and will cause MOT failure. We refurbish your existing filter so you remain compliant.
What vehicles can you refurbish DPFs for?
Most cars, vans and LCVs — contact us if you’re unsure.
Are there any DPFs you can’t clean?
Heavily damaged or melted filters may be beyond repair — we’ll assess and advise before work.
